Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Note:
❏ When scanning with the cover removed, do not leave any area of the
document table exposed to prevent interference from external light.
❏ When you are finished scanning, reattach the document cover in the
reverse order that you removed it.
Transporting the Scanner
Before transporting the scanner over a long distance or storing it
for an extended period, you need to lock the scanner’s carriage to
prevent damage. Follow the steps below.
1. Plug in the scanner and wait until the carriage moves to the
home position (position nearest the cover hinges). While the
carriage lamp remains on, unplug the power cord.
2. Disconnect the AC adapter from the DC inlet, and then slide
the transportation lock to the left.
Note:
If you are using the Film Adapter and it is switched on, the carriage will
not move to the home position. Remove the Film Adapter first, then
perform the steps above.
